wombatgirl drank Jasmine Phoenix Pearls by SpecialTeas

I’m shocked I haven’t rated this yet. I’ve had it at work for a few days. And I’ve been drinking it a lot. Unlike the new A&D Damn Fine Jasmine, this is a much more delicate jasmine and green. The little pearls open sweetly, almost coyly sharing its flavor with you.

My current cup is understeeped, and I can’t recall if there are other highlights in the cup, but it’s a nice, simple jasmine green, and it’s good on a cold icky day like today.

Bio

I’ve got a lot of interests: sushi, science fiction/fantasy, medieval recreation, cooking (specifically medieval cooking), reading, British science fiction (Doctor Who!), hand sewing and now TEA!!

My favorites tend to be oolongs and flavored black teas. I like highly flavored teas more than delicate ones. Rooibos tends to taste like dirt to me, and hibiscus is very sour to my palate. But I’m always up to try all sorts of things, and will often find things that I really like which I thought I’d hate.
